Should the Raptors blow it up?

When Bosh leaves shouldn't the Raptors just blow it up?

 

They should trade Turkoglu for Vince Carter, and then keep Carter to sell tickets in Toronto. Thus they wouldn't be stuck with that terrible contract that Hedo carries.

 

Then if the Knicks sign a Star like Carlos Boozer to complement Amar'e shouldn't they offer Calderon for Eddy Curry? Calderon would perform well in the Knicks offense, and the Raptors would shed future salary.

 

It is hard to decide what to do with Jack's contract, but they may be able to ship that off in an S&T with Bosh?

 

So Toronto fans do YOU wanna blow it up?

they should blow it up, but not with any of the ideas you have proposed

id rather see them get young talent back as opposed to just getting salaries to shed in the next year or two

 

Who is gonna give young talent for Turkoglu, Calderon, and Jack???

Calderon and Jack have value, especially Jack cause he's good and cheap.

 

Turkoglu is going to be making Raptors fans upset for a long time.

 

Jack is cheap? Nearly 5 million a year for a backup Point Guard?

 

EDIT:Misread contract

Jack is cheap? Nearly 6 million a year for a backup Point Guard?

 

Jack makes under $5M ($4.8M) next season and doesn't make over $6M during any season of his contract.

 

How many point guards of Jack's caliber are you able to get with an MLE deal? Add in the fact that he is 26 years old (turns 27 at the end of the year) and he is capable of starting on a lot of teams, especially teams with a ball dominant shooting guard/small forward which most contending teams have those. He is a very good shooter, solid defender, good leader, able to play both guard positions and is clutch. He is not your typical backup point guard and would be able to start on a decent amount of teams in the NBA.

 

Steve Blake is going to be signing for the MLE for somebody this season. Jack is the better player than him (at the very least, they are equal but I don't see it) and is younger, but he is overpaid? Jack is on a very reasonable contract for a player of his skill set.

Very compelling argument.
